| Hello.
I just got back from stampede and had no issues with being on shore power or dry camping using battery and generator for power. (Just me in the trailer) I got home, unhooked the trailer and plugged in. Everything was working. Fridge, lights, jacks, etc...
The next day, I go in and there are no lights or fridge. Checked the power cord and have power. Checked all fuses and breaker panel. Everything appears ok. Only thing working is microwave and all power outlets. Plugged trailer into my truck while it's running and everything is working.
Plugged back into shore power, nothing. Only the microwave and outlets.
Not sure where to locate the inverter. Or find the ground wire to check if it's come disconnected. Can't think of anything else that might be wrong.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Location: Los Angeles, Ca. | Check the circuit breaker near the battery...it is usually an automatic reset but they fail. All you need is a 12v tester. Breaker looks like https://www.amazon.com/RKURCK-Circuit-Automatic-Automotive-Protectiv... |

Location: Washington | Check thes rascals too. I had one blow on a camper in the past that isolated the inverter.

Location: Minnesota | Sounds like your power converter is not working. Lights etc are always 12 volts so you are working off the batteries in trailer or truck. Microwave, etc are direct 120 volts. Check the output of the converter. Uunhook the wires coming from the converter and using a tester you should be reading approx. 13.4 volts for output. |

Location: Calgary, Canada | Does your trailer have a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet? For more information see: https://home.howstuffworks.com/question117.htm
If your GRCI has tripped or is faulty, it may cause a power interruption to other circuits such as your fridge and lights.
I would suggest searching your trailer high and low for a GFCI as you might not even know that you have one.
Our 2006 Hart LQ has a GFCI that tripped last week and we lost AC power to our fridge and I believe most other AC outlets. For us it was a simple press of the reset button on the GFCI outlet and everything was working again 
Your trailer being a 2007 will likely have one as well. |
